"We have Adam working on an update and should have a new version out next week, assuming there aren't any big surprises that crop up. We packed Adam up and shipped him off to a conference in New York this week, so he's kind of tied up until he gets back to the office. I'll make sure we run an article as soon as the new version is available."

Obviously I am running this in October. It has been running fine up until now. This is not a knock on the app but rather a bug and no way to contact the developer from the app.

I've read that there's malware in the wild that disables Apple's Safe Download feature, and that the malware is transmitted via a Flash installer that is not genuine, but I haven't used any Flash installer in ages. I also have no idea if the described malware would affect Safe Download Version, which is not an Apple application.
Is anyone else experiencing this malfunction of Safe Download Version, or can anyone suggest what might be wrong?

It always makes me a little nervous though when any app (whose developer I am unfamiliar with) requires my admin password to use.

I've been reading the "Mac Observer" for years and since they endorse the developer (Adam Christianson) I have no reason to believe there would be a security problem.

That said, some people have had trouble with the method employed by Safe Download Version deleting their login keychain. I haven't had this problem, but as a precaution you should make a backup copy of your keychain before running Safe Download.

Yes... I realize some apps require the admin password... I'm just saying people should always be careful when they're asked and not to type it in unless they are certain as to the credibility of the developer.
